My name is Ken Scherer
I began my journey in 2016 after wanting a better snack for backyard birds. After a quick trip to the feed store, I started looking at bags of dehydrated meal worms. This seemed to be the fit. After obtaining my first colony of mealworms and rearing them for several years, I have discovered their remarkable ability to restore ecosystems, to be utilized as a value-added component that can be retrofitted in waste stream valorization.
